Appeal For Information And Witnesses On L'Derry Shooting
A man, aged in his 30s, has been shot in the leg in the Whitehouse Road area of L'Derry.
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following the shooting incident at the junction of Coshquin road on Monday 23 January.
A lone and masked gunman is reported to have shot the victim once in the leg. The victim was taken to hospital by the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service. He remains in hospital this morning.
Police remain in the area where a cordon is in place at the junction of Coshquin Road and Whitehouse Road.
Detective Inspector Lavery from Strand Road Criminal Investigation Branch said: "Our investigation is at an early stage and we are specifically appealing for anyone who was in this area at around 9pm and who saw anything suspicious, or out of the ordinary, to get in touch. We're also keen to hear from drivers with dashcam who were in the area at this time to check their footage and see if they've captured the gunman."
Detective Inspector Lavery added: "The shooting we witnessed last night is a clear human rights abuse and the injuries inflicted on the victim are a stark violation of people’s basic human rights. This attack will leave physical and mental scars and trauma that may never heal. No good comes from this – ever.
“These attacks are not only placing the victims at risk, but also the local community. People should feel safe in their own homes. No-one has the right to take that away from anyone.
"This violence has no justification and paramedics, nurses, doctors and all other NHS and care workers need to be allowed to focus all their efforts on treating and saving people who need help."
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference 2026 of 23/01/23. Information can also be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
